Michael Moore: 'We, As Americans, Think That It's OK To Kill People'

Filmmaker Michael Moore gave his views on what needs to be done to end violence in schools (Jan. 1): “We are a violent people. We, as Americans, think that it’s OK to kill people. We believe that it’s OK to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. We believe it’s OK to invade a country where we think Osama Bin Laden is, and he’s in the other country. But we just go in and we just kill. And we have death penalty, we sanction it. Not insane people, we’re talking about our government — which is of, by and for the people — says that it’s OK to kill other people. So, why is it a surprise when the unhinged, who live in the same society, go, “Yeah, I feel like killing some people today?” I think we need to take a look at ourselves, this is what the problem is.”
